The David Thompson Community Schools Team offers after-school programs which allow students to have fun while  participating in a variety of activities led by our trained secondary school leaders and post secondary interns. These programs help students to develop skills and confidence necessary for strong academic achievement.

Registrations will occur in a lottery system with families being able to sign up via email.  As programs get up and running we will share the details here and email families.
